04 ✦ Video | Backdated to the 25th

[mightdoriya]

[There's no fanfare for this video. It's also the second time in the last...month? Short while? Izuku is rapidly losing track- that he's been put up on the network in some sort of duress for all to see. This time though, it's not accidental or done by one of his Pokemon who just cares for his wellbeing. He's making this post entirely of his own volition, and like...not to knock Kirishima or Katsuki for being bad helpers or anything because he trusts them, but this problem requires a bit more of a...delicate touch? Which...neither of them have on a good day.

The video pops on, and the first thing one can see is a little crocodile. Sandile, as they're called in this world. It just so happens to be a swarm going on, and Izuku had come upon a few of the Pokemon that had just waltzed in like they'd owned the place. None of them he'd ever seen before, so naturally this left him curious and wanting a better look.

That was, of course, until he'd crouched down in front of one of the Pokemon, only for it to hop up and just take the biggest mouthful of that bushy green hair of his as it possibly could have. Like, it's not being stingy here, it's got its jaws clamped on him tight. The good news though is the Pokemon's tail is slowly wagging, so it's not like...angry, or attcking him or anything.

He just saw his hair and thought it would be a fun texture to take a huge bite out of, and now he won't let go. For anything.

Izuku is leaning halfway over to support the Pokemon's weight, trying to hold him up in one hand while he holds his Gear with his other.]

Help.

[She should not be laughing. She should not be laughing. This kid seems like he's in actual distress, but it's hilarious and obviously not malicious on the part of the little croc.]

You... you okay over there? Seems like your new lil' buddy there is a fan of your hair. [Just ignore the sylveon head on her shoulder that seems quite keen to examine the situation.]

Dude doesn't look mad, at least. But, uh, dependin' on where you're at, Demon might be able to get him to let go?

[mightdoriya]

[No, honestly? Izuku would be more concerned if people weren't laughing. And let's be honest, it's not the first time- nor will it be the last- that he's done something that is worth laughing over. He's just that type of person, he attracts trouble like a very, very strong magnet. Fortunately, the trouble you can get up to in this world is mostly harmless? Usually, anyway.

Izuku exhales as the Sandile lets out a happy little grumble, all muffled around his bangs as he seems to respond by just taking even more hair into his mouth, securing an even tigter grip. Izuku is lucky he's light enough to hold in one hand, or else he'd be in a lot of pain right now.]

I'm f-fine, I just...I can't get him off.

[He doesn't want to hurt him, either. Plus, having his other Pokemon get involved while he is still attached seems...painful.]

...Demon...?

[strings_theory]

[Oh, that's... the first time anyone's asked about Demon's nickname in any way, shape, or form. Oops. The sylveon in question is making his weird barking noise when addressed, but promptly ignored by his trainer.]

I mean, that's why I was offerin'.

Despite his name, sylveons are pretty damn good at getting Pokemon to chill their tits and move or do something. While your little dude looks happy, I'm sure he could get him to relax enough to let go of your hair. No after effects or anythin'.

[You know what Ochako didn't want to see after a long trek through a densely wooded forest with mostly bugs and poisonous grass type Pokemon? This. This right here. She desperately needs an actual bath instead of a soak in cold rivers and streams, and sleeping in a tent or sleeping bag isn't as awesome as a plush bed...

Her hair is a bit messy, but only because one (1) very spherical borb is tucked up against the crook of her neck, sleeping soundly.]

...Deku-kun. [She's not mad, just disappointed.] Where are you?

[mightdoriya]

[LOOK...HE'S SORRY....At least it wasn't explicitly his fault this time!!

Congrats on scoring your cute-ass borb though Ochako, you're the real winner here.]

B...back in Kanto......

[floatsaway]

[DEKU, YOU LITERALLY APPROACHED A WILD ANIMAL, HOW IS THIS NOT YOUR FAULT?! You're supposed to be the smart one!]

Can you meet me in Goldenrod? I'm right at the route before it, so taking a UBird there won't be expensive...and I might be able to grab someone from the PC that can help.

[Armin is biting hard on the inside of his cheek, trying not to laugh. Cause on the one hand, absolutely hilarious! But on the other hand, not really nice.]

Can you try tickling his nose? I'm not sure if you can reach it properly, but if they are anything like Totodile, they should have a surprisingly sensitive nose.

[mightdoriya]

[The Sandile seems to hear that and makes a sort of squeaky grumble. You'd better not!!!

But Izuku clearly hadn't thought of that before, given his expression past the Sandile's body.]

Are they? Well, I guess it's worth trying...owow...

[Izuku has to awkwardly prop up his Gear on something (so the camera angle is a bit skewed now) so he can hold the Sandile in one hand and tickle his nose with the other. Immediately, the little Pokemon begins to wiggle in protest, his tail lashing more than waggling, his feet pawing at Izuku's face. Izuku sputters but doesn't stop, only to actually pull back when he gets a hard smack on his (not recently broken) hand with a tail.]

Hey! I'm not trying to ruin your fun, but this hurts-!

[schachmeister]

Are you okay?

[Armin knows how strong these little guys can be with their tails.]

Do you have any friends nearby? Anyone who could help you hold him down?

action

[apshot]

[ Nope. Hold on a minute. Bakugou is there, of course. Hard for him not to be. However he's not helping Deku out at all.

He's on the ground. On his knees. Holding his chest because he can't breathe.

Laughing. ]

[mightdoriya]

[WOW THANKS KACCHAN YOU'RE HELPING OUT LIKE A TRUE HERO HERE

Izuku's face flares red as he hears Katsuki cackling at him from nearby, holding the Sandile with both hands now to keep him close so he doesn't actually pull his hair out.]

It's not funny, Kacchan!!

[It's a little funny.]

[video]

[strikesachord]

[Well, Gobo wasn't going to laugh until that call for help, which he knows shouldn't be funny! But it just solidifies this whole, absurd situation this poor kid's going through. He can't help snickering as he speaks.]

You might be looking at a haircut. [Wait, okay no, that's not helpful at all. He shakes his head and tries to control his amusement.] Maybe it'll let go if you offer it some kinda treat?

[mightdoriya]

[NO THAT IS THE LEAST HELPFUL, it actually makes him pale a little bit because that's honestly what he was worried about. He likes his hair, he doesn't want it all cut off...]

A treat? Maybe...I'm not sure what he'd like though.

[Izuku sighs, looking over at the happy-as-a-clam little Sandile who looks to have no plans of moving any time soon.]

I mostly have Pokemon food on me right now...which probably isn't all that exciting.

Video

[adandyinspace]

Oh yeah, Martini does that, like, all the time.

[As someone else who also has huge hair and a bitey pokemon on the regular, this doesn't seem to faze Dandy at all.

Which really doesn't help when people ask for, you know, help.]

[mightdoriya]

[Yeah, no, thank you for the solidarity but also that's completely unhelpful.]

...so what do you...do about it?

video;

[missleadingquestions]

A-aw.

It looks like he likes you and all, but I don't think this is what people mean when they tell you to use your head...

[Oh, this is funny-]

[mightdoriya]

[MAYA NOW IS NOT THE TIME!!

Well, the Sandile seemed to enjoy that, if the muffled grumble is any indication.]

Maya-san I'm going to need a wig at this rate!!!

[chirpier]

[ afhjhetkg that’s a crocodile chomping down on his head?!?!?!? oh geez—

yachi herself panics first, breathes in, looks at the rest of the replies (he got one that mentioned treats, okay, that’s out of suggesting), then looks through her pokédex for some sort of useful information— because there had to be something?! count backwards control thy anxiety. ]

First: are you okay???

Second: I went through some things and what I’ve got if nothing else has worked is is either showing it a Trapinch (extremely locational, I’m so sorry), or using an ice-based attack on it for being so sensitive to cooler climates? But that depends if you have any ice or water types (maybe even ghost types?) and you have a risk of getting hit too??? Do you have any Pokémon with status effect attacks and/or abilities?? Or maybe you would’ve thought of that but it’s super risky too

This is so unhelpful

[mightdoriya]

[It's a baby crocodile! There's a difference!! If it were, say, a Krookodile or a Krokorok then they'd really have a problem...

It's going to take Izuku a hot second to text back- head still in a Sandile's mouth, and all- but he will eventually manage it.]

im okay my neck is just getting sore

dont really have any ice types, but i have one pokemon with an ice type move

but shes very skittish and doesnt battle much...

maybe i could have kamui put it to sleep??

[Video]

[bestswordmaster]

Just cut that part of your hair off. You certainly have enough of it. You can even it out when you don't have a lizard dangling from your head.

[mightdoriya]

N-no way! Do you know how much of it I'd have to cut??

Video

[majimekun]

Maybe he think he's helping you? Or else he thought you'd be nice to chew on?

[mightdoriya]

I think it's maybe the latter...I don't know how this could really be helpful...

[It mostly just hurts. But at least it's not a constant pull so long as he keeps supporting the little guy.]

Or maybe he thinks it's funny.

[ video ]

[questioneverything]

Oh... that looks awkward.

Did he mistake your hair for a plant?

[Romelle, that was almost insulting...]

[mightdoriya]

[Man, Izuku isn't even phased. It's not the first time he's heard something similar and it won't be the last.]

M-maybe, but...I feel like he'd probably not eat plants, right?

[He doesn't think about Pokemon eating other Pokemon in the wild much, but like.

He does imagine it happens.]
